Re: Position of front seats

Thank you for the lots of information!

My friend is about 6,5 ft tall. He already tried the old and the G1000 panel. Both without success. :-(

Position of front seats

Dear All, a friend of mine fell in love with the DA40. However he is very tall and his knees are stuck with the instrument panel. He cannot get his knees underneath the instrument panel. Thus he would need to have the front seat moved two inches backward. Does anybody have similar problems or an ide...

Kai, the "Edge Performance" is for experimental only. It's not for certified aircraft.

BTW: I just wanted to help Jerry to find a conversion. Myself I am not interested because I just fly the DA20 of our flying club.

Re: How do I upgrade 912 80hp to 912 100 hp

Well, I just found a DA20 for sale in Denver with a quite new 100 hp Rotax. Maybe thats an option?

To get the aircraft modified in Europe means to spend 7500 USD for shipping and crating each leg. I don‘t think that would be an option.

Re: DA20 rental on west coast bay area

Thank you for all your replies! It‘s sad that there aren‘t any DA20s available. This is because I haven‘t any expierience with DA40s. The only other aircraft I am familiar with is a PA28. Could you propose a time when it‘s best and worst flying in the bay area? I remeber a lot of mist on one of my v...

DA20 rental on west coast bay area

Dear All,

I like to rent a DA20 and a FI around San Francisco for a day trip around the bay area. Do you have any recommendations?

Re: How do I upgrade 912 80hp to 912 100 hp

Our flying club operates two DA20 Katana with 100 hp Rotax. I really like them and can recommend to upgrade to 100 hp. However, here is a link to the 912 IS upgrade: https://www.mt-propeller.com/en/entw/stcs/diamond_7.htm They quoted me 22k Euros for the conversion without the engine and 46k Euros f...
